So far I have made the Chicken Curry with Biryani Rice -- excellent, and the cardamom biscotti -- out of this world fantastic. Probably the most tasty and exciting biscotti I have ever tasted. It is true that this cookbook likes to mix Indian flavors with other cuisines in some of the recipes, but the results are no accident. I have tried other Indian cookbooks, but only this one seems to turn out first rate results. The Chicken Curry with Biryani Rice seems Indian enough to me. I brought it to work and an Indian co-worker said it seemed authentically Indian to her. So I feel I can vouch that some of the recipes must be true to Indian cooking, while others (biscotti) are creative adventures with Indian flavors!
